Social Media Features

Our Website uses social media features ("Social Features") provided by companies and services such as LinkedIn to enable you to share information via these channels. The Social Features are identified on our Website by these companies' respective logos. These cookies are owned and controlled by third parties, and therefore the third parties - and not Marinn.ai - are responsible for their use. As such, we can't guarantee that we have listed every cookie you might get from a third party since a third party could change these cookies at any time as their needs change.

​

When you visit a page our Website that contains Social Features, your browser establishes a direct connection to the applicable social network's servers. The Social Features provide the social networks with the information that you have accessed on our Website, and, if you are logged into the social network, your visit may be logged to your account on that service. Even if you are not logged into the social network, or click on a Social Feature on the Marinn.ai site, there is still a possibility that a Social Feature can transmit your IP address to the social network.

​

Marinn.ai does not control social networks services, your profiles on those services, modify your personal settings on those services or establish rules about how your information and personal data will be used on those services. You and the social networks service providers are in control of the above issues and not Marinn.ai. You are encouraged to read all policies and information on the applicable social media services to learn more about how they handle and safeguard your data and information, before using any such features made available to you on the service.
